Communist Party of Ecuador – Red Sun

The Communist Party of Ecuador – Red Sun (Spanish: Partido Comunista de Ecuador - Sol Rojo, PCE-SR), also known as Puka Inti (Quechua for "Red Sun") is a Marxist–Leninist–Maoist group in Ecuador. It was founded on 1 June 1993 and carried out several minor bombings in that year. In 1994 the US State Department estimated that the group had less than 100 members. From inception, until their death, the group's former leader used the nom de guerre "Comrade Joselo". Joselo died on November 6, 2022 with no announcement of a successor. The PCE-SR consists mostly of former members of the underground leftist group ¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! The organization follows the ideas of the Peruvian communist leader Abimael Guzmán, founder and longtime chairman of the Shining Path in Peru. The organization has also become close to the Mantaro Red Base Committee, the Communist Party of India (Maoist), and is also a member of the International Communist League (Maoist).

The group has protested for workers' rights, and against increased bureaucratic policing and government displacement of communities from economic infrastructure such as mining. Taking inspiration from the Shining Path, PCE-SR advocates for the peasant seizure of farmlands, electoral boycotting, and violence against state institutions.
